Cheetah Deckboat 26 Wildcat keeps an estimated 42% of its value after 5 years — #5896 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Cheetah Deckboat 26 Wildcat retains an estimated 42% of its value after five years, ranking #5896 of 5915 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 20 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cheetah Deckboat 26 Wildcat sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $170,300 it falls to around $71,526 by year five — a five-year loss near $98,774, about $54.12 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Cheetah Deckboat 26 Wildcat bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
